Shattering Secrets
Chapter 21
After the realization that Rachel was having trouble coming up with the perfect way communicate her feelings, she was walking down the hallway when she heard a voice stopped that stopped her in tracks.
"Streisand!"
She turned to face the one and only Sue Sylvester. Rachel gulped because whenever she had spoken with the cheerleading coach it meant nothing good was about to happen. She turned around and looked at her waiting for the cheerleading coach to speak.
"I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I saw what happened yesterday."
Rachel wasn't sure how to respond to this caring side of Sue. She was still trying to process the change as she was tried to form a response.
"Coach thank you for checking up on me, but I'm OK. They just frightened me because I haven't been around that large of a group of people for a while."
Sue unsurprisingly able to understand sign language looked at Rachel and realized how broken the girl really was. She could see the fear in her eyes without Rachel having to voice what had happened over the summer. Truthfully, her heart went out to the girl. She knew what it was like to have parents that did not care about you. Sue realized in that moment that she would watch out for Rachel from this point on.
"Listen Streisand, if anyone bugs you from now on or if you just need to get away or whatever; you can come to me."
Rachel was shocked by this offer so she just nodded. With that Sue gave her small smile and turned and went back down the hallway the way she came.
Rachel was still bewildered by what had transpired. She continued to walk down the hallway unaware of the looks and whispers going around her. She realized long ago that not everyone is going to like you for what you are or appreciate your talent.
Rachel entered the choir room, but no one was there thank goodness. She needed time alone with no one around to judge her choices. She sat for the longest time trying to come up with the perfect song to express her feelings to Noah, not Puck. She was frustrated that she could no longer express how she was feeling. She finally decided that she would just have to play the piano and hope that Noah would understand the message she was trying to convey. She went through many songs but nothing fit what she wanted to say to him.
Finally, after a few more hours of tinkering she came up with Josh Groban's "My Confession." As she listened to the lyrics it fit her and Noah perfectly she just needed a few days to get it right so that she could finally reveal her heart.
Author's Note: Josh Groban's "My Confession " and Rascal Flatt's" The Day Before You" don't belong to me I'm just borrowing them. As always everything belongs to RM I'm just borrowing his charters.
